[MonoDevelop] monodevelop not finding System.Xml

[Rafael Teixeira]

Did you add a reference in the project to the System.Xml assembly (not
to be mistaken with the System.Xml namespace that is mostly
implemented in it)?
AFAIK MD  when compiling instructs mcs not to use the default
libraries but only the ones the project explicitly references. That's
is so that you don't carry unwanted "luggage" in the project, and also
can specifically target a version (profile) of .NET.

Do "mcs --help" at the prompt and lookout for -noconfig and -nostdlib
options, to understand things a bit more.

Hope it helps,
